Differential Cytokine Signatures of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and Influenza Infection Highlight Key Differences in Pathobiology

Andrew H. Karaba et al.

Summary: Severe COVID-19 is characterized by dysregulated inflammation and its association with elevated BMI. This study compared cytokines in COVID-19 and influenza patients, identifying different inflammatory pathways and a cytokine mediator of the effect of BMI.

The size and culturability of patient-generated SARS-CoV-2 aerosol

Joshua L. Santarpia et al.

Summary: The study found evidence of viral replication in submicron aerosol samples from COVID-19 patients, further confirming the potential for airborne transmission of COVID-19. Therefore, it emphasizes the importance of using efficient respiratory protection in healthcare and public settings to limit transmission.

Patient Trajectories Among Persons Hospitalized for COVID-19 A Cohort Study

Brian T. Garibaldi et al.

Summary: This study investigated factors predictive of severe COVID-19 disease or death in patients upon hospital admission, finding that age, nursing home residence, comorbid conditions, obesity, respiratory symptoms, respiratory rate, fever, absolute lymphocyte count, etc. are strongly associated with disease progression.

The role of dedicated biocontainment patient care units in preparing for COVID-19 and other infectious disease outbreaks

Jade B. Flinn et al.

Summary: The US Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response established biocontainment units to prepare and provide care for patients infected with high-consequence pathogens, with the activities of the Johns Hopkins BCU helping prepare their health system for COVID-19. This highlights the importance of BCUs in the current pandemic and their potential value in preparing healthcare facilities and health systems for future infectious disease threats.

Baricitinib plus Remdesivir for Hospitalized Adults with Covid-19

A. C. Kalil et al.

Summary: Combination treatment with baricitinib plus remdesivir was superior to remdesivir alone in reducing recovery time and accelerating improvement in clinical status among patients with Covid-19, notably among those receiving high-flow oxygen or noninvasive ventilation. The combination was associated with fewer serious adverse events.

Development of Severe COVID-19 Adaptive Risk Predictor (SCARP), a Calculator to Predict Severe Disease or Death in Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19

Shannon Wongvibulsin et al.

Summary: The study developed a novel tool called SCARP to provide dynamic risk predictions for progression from moderate to severe COVID-19 or death within the first 14 days of hospitalization. Results showed that the tool could rapidly and accurately predict the progression of patients' conditions.

Metabolic programs define dysfunctional immune responses in severe COVID-19 patients

Elizabeth A. Thompson et al.

Summary: The study identifies a unique population of T cells expressing increased VDAC1 in severe and recovered COVID-19 patients, associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis. Additionally, specific metabolic phenotypes of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in COVID-19 patients can distinguish between severe and mild disease. These findings offer insight into dysfunctional immune response in COVID-19 patients and potential for developing personalized therapeutic approaches.

SARS-CoV-2 Transmission Risk Among National Basketball Association Players, Staff, and Vendors Exposed to Individuals With Positive Test Results After COVID-19 Recovery During the 2020 Regular and Postseason

Christina D. Mack et al.

Summary: In this retrospective cohort study of the 2020 NBA closed campus occupational health program, recovered individuals who continued to test positive for SARS-CoV-2 following discontinuation of isolation were not infectious to others. These findings support time-based US Centers of Disease Control and Prevention recommendations for ending isolation.

Comparison of Time to Clinical Improvement With vs Without Remdesivir Treatment in Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19

Brian T. Garibaldi et al.

Summary: This comparative effectiveness research study showed that the receipt of remdesivir was associated with faster clinical improvement in a cohort of predominantly non-White patients with COVID-19. Additionally, the combination of remdesivir and corticosteroids did not reduce the time to death compared with remdesivir administered alone.

A Practical Approach to Filtering Facepiece Respirator Decontamination and Reuse: Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation

Mark P. Ridder et al.

Summary: UVGI has been proven effective in decontaminating N95 FFRs and maintaining mask integrity and filtering capacity, making it a viable strategy for FFR-DR during emergencies. UVGI may cause degradation of strap integrity at higher doses but does not significantly reduce fit or strap integrity within 20 uses. This decontamination method is crucial in ensuring adequate protection for healthcare workers during the shortage of PPE.
